Getting ready for big games is a part of the exciting life of a sports person.

That word, phrase, whatever you may call it, gets me bothered. Perhaps it is the after thought answer…For what? That even sends shivers down my spine. There is no single day that does not amount to an activity, better yet gives that sudden day to get ready for complexities.

For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he according to Proverbs 23:7 But am not preaching religion, there is some truth to it. Try it! Listen to your body
